Notwithstanding go much has been

that public sentiment is steadily set

Of Mr.. McEnery. W. regret that
anything, such as popularity called

We were reliably Informed o few
days ago that as soon as the Jeaner'
cite fair was over with, the necessary
attention would be given, by the
citizens of that place, to the building
Of the railroad from that town west.
The Times Democrat, in speaking OF
the road, says: "Jeanerette Is to
be the eastern terminus Of a new
railroad, known az the Jeanerette,
AbbeviIle and Western Railroad.
1t is intended to penetrate the ex-
ceedingly fertile country west, to or
near Abbeyille. This will throw
open to settlement q large area of
superb stock and sugar land, much
of it virgin soil and comparatively
cheap. This area, in the main, has
lain too far from the railroad to
eutice immigration, but its excellent
advantages, with the accessibility
furnished by this railroad, will soon
make it a chosen center for the i'm.
migration so rapidly increasing its
volume in Southwest Louisiana. This
railroad has been entitled "The
Rich Land and Winter Home
Route" s%ignifying the fertility Of
the country it will penetrate, and
the purpose of its projectors to build
one or more towns, where climatic
charms and rural embellishments will
unite in their alturements to well.to-
do and cultured immigrants" This
parish also abounds in beautiful
lakes. On the eastern boundary is
Lake Peignaur, a beautiful lake
which abounds in fish OF various
kinds, aud Lake Arthur on the west
ern boundary, is a beautiful, clear
lake, with high clean banks. Here
are many orange groves planted
and the orange thrives. Fine stock
and sheep could be made very pro
6table here, as the climate is mills
and grazing lasts the year through
But little food would be required tt
